France’s Alexandre Vandermoten claims dominant victory at the inaugural Villa Paradiso Alps Open

Italy, April 11th, 2026 – France’s Alexandre Vandermoten delivered a commanding performance from start to finish to win the inaugural Villa Paradiso Alps Open. Starting the final round with a two-shot lead, the Frenchman quickly extended his advantage with two birdies in his opening holes. Despite a setback with a double bogey on the 6th, the Toulouse Golf Club player showed great composure, bouncing back with two birdies on the back nine to secure his first professional victory.

Thanks to a final round of 70 (-2), the rookie finished three shots clear of fellow Qualifying School graduate Pablo Alperi and Ireland’s Robert Moran, who shared second place. For Moran, it marks a third runner-up finish in four events this season.

Full Leaderboard

With this victory, Vandermoten earns €7,120 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. He now moves up to fourth place in the rankings, behind Andrea Romano (1st), Robert Moran (2nd), and Mario Galiano Aguilar (3rd).

The players will return to action on Sunday, April 19th in Cairo for the Dreamland Open.

Round 2 Player Quotes

Alexandre Vandermoten : “My putting was very good all week, and my overall game was really solid. I had already put myself in contention in Egypt, so this is a continuation of that. The more often you get into position, the better your chances of winning. I also had a great week with my friends Aymeric Laussot and Tom Gueant, we shared some great moments, and that always helps. I really enjoyed the course as well. Before the tournament, I had a long call with Raphaël Jacquelin, which helped me regain a fighting mindset and just let my natural game flow. Now the goal is clearly to reach the top 5. I stay humble, but I’ve won one, why not win two more this season?”

Pablo Alperi : “I did everything I could. Alexandre played outstanding golf and is a deserving winner. I’m very happy for him. I just missed that bit of luck you sometimes need to win, maybe a couple more putts dropping. I gave it everything I had, and I’ll sleep well tonight.”

France’s Alexandre Vandermoten extends his lead ahead of the final round

Players began to find their rhythm at Villa Paradiso Golf Club during the second round of the Villa Paradiso Alps Open. While only one player broke 68 (-4) on day one, eight players bettered that mark on Friday.

First-round leader Alexandre Vandermoten was among them, signing an excellent 65 (-7) highlighted by a spectacular albatross on the par-5 11th. After a strong front nine featuring five birdies, the 25-year-old holed a 4-wood from 231 metres to produce one of the standout moments of the week. He now heads into the final round with a two-shot advantage.

Full leaderboard

Spain’s Pablo Alperi went one better in the morning, setting a new course record with a flawless 64 (-8). Starting from the 10th tee, the rookie surged on the back nine, recording six birdies over his final seven holes to move into second place, two shots behind the leader.

Italy’s Flavio Michetti sits in third place, three strokes back, after also posting an impressive 65 (-7).

For tomorrow’s final round, play will begin at 8:15 a.m. from both the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the third round, the winner will receive €7,120 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. In the event of a tie, a playoff will determine the champion.

Round 2 Player Quotes

Alexandre Vandermoten : “I had a really strong start, my first three holes left me with very short putts thanks to some great wedge shots, and I was also very solid on the greens. On the 11th, I hit a great drive and then had 231 metres. I struck a perfect 4-wood and saw the ball land on the green, but I didn’t know it had gone in until it was confirmed. After that, I stayed focused and managed my emotions well. It’s the third time I’ve put myself in a great position to win heading into the final round, which is very positive. There are still 18 holes to play, so I just need to focus on my own game and not look at the others.”

Pablo Alperi : “I focused on doing the right things and hitting good shots, and today the putts dropped. I’m really happy to have set the course record in a tournament like this and to have a chance to win tomorrow. I’m not thinking about the result — just taking it shot by shot and staying focused on my game. The course is in fantastic condition, better than I expected, so congratulations to the Villa Paradiso team for the great work.”

I really like the course and I’m looking forward to play tomorrow . ”

Italy’s Andrea Romano claims back-to-back victory at New Giza

Egypt, March 1st, 2026 – Andrea Romano sits alone at the start of this season. Leading after 36 holes, the Italian signed a third consecutive 67 (-5) to claim back-to-back victories at the New Giza Open after his win at Red Sea Little Venice Open.

After a front nine of two bogeys and three birdies, the 25-year-old produced a flawless back nine, making four birdies between holes 13 and 17 to pull away from the field.

Full leaderboard

Ireland’s Robert Moran and Spain’s Mario Galiano Aguilar both carded impressive 66s (-6) on Sunday to finish tied for second, two shots behind. Notably, Galiano Aguilar records his third consecutive podium in as many events played in Egypt this season.

The players will return to action on Thursday April 9th, for the Villa Paradiso Alps Open, in Italy.

Round 3 Player Quotes

Andrea Romano : “It was a really tough day for me because I didn’t sleep well last night. I woke up several times and felt a bit stressed at the start, which showed early on with a bogey on the first and another one on the seventh. But on the back nine, I told myself to stay patient because I knew my game was solid. My putting was key today — when I’m putting well, I know I can be very competitive and put myself in contention. Starting the season like this is amazing, I couldn’t have asked for better start. Now I’ll reset, take a short break, and stay focused because the season is still long and it’s not done yet.”

Mario Galiano Aguilar : “It’s great to be in contention again. Playing in the final groups for three tournaments in a row is an amazing feeling. I’m very happy with my game at the moment, and I’ll try to keep doing the same in the upcoming events. Andrea played incredible golf and fully deserved the win. Now it’s about keeping the momentum going.”

Round 2 Player Quotes

Andrea Romano : “I’m very happy because my game feels really solid. Even when I hit a bad shot, it’s never a big mistake. I usually stay on the right side, which makes it easier to recover and save par. I’ve also realised that when I’m putting well and feeling confident on the greens, I’m very comfortable out there and can keep a positive mindset throughout the round.”

Alexis Leray : “I’m quite pleased with my first two rounds. I had a really good putting day friday, while today was a bit more difficult on the greens. I missed several birdie opportunities, especially from short range, which could have helped me go lower.

That said, I’m very satisfied with my game and with how I’m playing overall at the start of the season. Apart from a difficult first round in the opening event, things have been going well, I’ve been consistent and I feel comfortable on this tour in my first season. I’m in a good position, and I’ll try to make the most of it to earn as many points as possible.”

Italy’s Andrea Romano claims the 2026 Red Sea Little Venice Open after a thrilling final round battle

Egypt, February 24, 2026 – The final round of the Red Sea Little Venice Open delivered a highly competitive finish, with ten players still in contention within two shots of the lead. Thanks to an excellent closing round of 66 (-6), featuring seven birdies and just one bogey, Italy’s Andrea Romano made the difference at the right time to secure his third Alps Tour title, following his victories at the Alps de Andalucía–Roquetas de Mar and the Fred Olsen Alps de La Gomera last season. Having surged back into contention with a remarkable 62 (-10) in the second round, equalling the course record, the 25-year-old sets the tone for a strong start to his season.

Full leaderboard

Romano earns €6,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points,

On the B&C courses at Sokhna Golf Club, France’s Nicolas Calvet and Spain’s Mario Galiano Aguilar applied pressure until the very end, eventually finishing just one shot behind the winner. France’s Benjamin Kedochim and Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela shared fourth place, one stroke further back.

The players will return to action on Friday, February 27th, for the 2026 New Giza Open at New Giza Golf Club in Cairo.

Round 3 Player Quotes

Andrea Romano : “I made a solid start, hitting good shots over the first five holes, making two birdies and holing a chip on the fourth. My putting felt really good, especially after yesterday’s round of -10, which I believe was key to winning this week. After yesterday’s round, I just told myself to keep playing the same way, and it paid off. The closing holes were a bit tricky. I made a mistake off the tee on 15 and ended up making bogey, but I bounced back with a great birdie on 17. On the 18th tee, I knew it was very tight at the top of the leaderboard, so I decided to stay aggressive.

I’m really happy with this victory. I’ve realised that when my short game is in good shape, I can put myself in contention very often. Before coming here, I felt okay but not at my best. I had been watching videos of my swing and knew it was good, but I wasn’t feeling it on the course. My long game didn’t feel strong enough to win. But day after day, I became more comfortable and confident with my game.”

Nicolas Calvet : “I feel a bit frustrated, but overall it’s still a good day. I’m quite pleased with my game, especially going bogey-free again despite the windy conditions. I managed to stay disciplined with my routines and stick to my game plan for all 18 holes, which was my main objective. I just tried to remain patient and not get carried away. I did that well, but unfortunately I didn’t putt very well from two to four meters, which cost me a few shots — especially on holes 12, 16 and 18.

It’s still a strong result to start the season, and I’ll definitely take it. There are a lot of positives to build on. My ball-striking wasn’t exceptional in terms of feeling, but I kept the ball in the right areas, giving myself chances. Even with some average shots, I stayed in play and managed things well. All in all, it’s a better result than the sensations suggested, and a solid foundation for what’s ahead.”
